§ MR. JOHN AIRD (Paddington, N.)I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works if the military bands will now be paid for the special duties performed in the Royal Parks.
§ THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. HERBERT GLADSTONE, Leeds, W.)There are certain technical difficulties which have not yet been settled, and I am not able for the present to give a definite answer. But an arrangement is being made, which I hope and think will be satisfactory to the Guards' bands concerned.
